Woot, go! Although, dDoS attacks are the most easy of web-loopholes, so ... yeah. I hope he doesn't do anything else, although.. :$ I gotta say, the apology note doesn't sound like its from someone who could do dDoS attacks

You'd be surprised how little knowledge it takes for someone to DDOS someone..

From a story I've read.. some 13 year old met a hacker over IRC and the hacker pretty much told him "To attack someone, go to this IRC room,type this command and their IP and press enter"

The person didn't even know how it worked to attack someone, but he did it successfully many times (very similar to vB's case)

I think someone on #vborg sent me the story..

Regards,
Patrick

They found him, down to his address. Steve says, though, that the FBI wouldn't do a damned thing about it.

Of course, they are more worried about nocking someones door in and seizing all his stuff...unrelated..

Anyway IMO that just gose to show how great americain law can be. Did you know if you rob a house in the USA but that wasent your intention when you broke in that you will see NO JAIL TIME (for robbery)?.

It just goes to show that people can get away with these things. And it's worrying, because people in the future will do this, and may never be caught.

To be fair, though, the person in question was in China, which, not only being outside US law, is notorious for not enforcing its own Internet law, when it even exists.

Some people don't need reasons to do things like that.
